The GSD has this evening presented its slate of ten candidates for this year’s general election. Only party leader Daniel Feetham and current MP Edwin Reyes remain from the party’s current parliamentary team.
The Government says it notes recent statements in the media relating to proposals to launch new commercial activities in and from Gibraltar.
Unite the Union Health and Care Convenors says it notes with concern the assertions made by the GSD in respect to staff morale within the Gibraltar Health Authority. The union says that as the union with the majority of the negotiating rights within this environment, and therefore the primary organisation concerned with employee welfare, members of the community may be forgiven for questioning whether Unite has failed in its role to highlight concerns and safeguard the interests of its members following the allegations made by the GSD.
The Government has said that it is quite incredible that after the GSD had sixteen years in which to tackle the issue of appointments at the primary care centre, the Opposition should have the “audacity” to criticise this Government and the GHA over the very precise issue that they failed to resolve. Number Six adds that the GSD also choose to ignore the fact that the system has already improved considerably over the past two years from what was there before.
The Government has hit back at the GSD on two fronts following heated exchanges yesterday.
On the first topic – the Hernandez bullying investigation – the Government argues that it is “complete nonsense” for the Opposition to claim that the allegations of bullying against Ms Joanna Hernandez have been swept under the carpet.
